INS: Employee 1095-C Report
Overview
The INS Report: 1095-C window contains the tools you need to produce Employee 1095-C Forms in compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reporting requirements.
From this window, you can also open another window where you can analyze form data before you generate the forms. You access the Employee 1095-C Report from WinTeam's Insurance Benefits module.
You must have the appropriate User Security before WinTeam will create Employee 1095-C Forms (see Security below). The system will exclude from the process Employees whose records for which you do not have security permission. For example, it may be necessary for you to have Admin-Level Security to create Employee 1095-C Forms for the president or other executives in the company.
Key Functionality
Type a description to name the report. This description prints above the Report Title.
Use these options to sort 1095-C Report data/Forms by Employee Number, Employee Name, Distribution Code or ZIP Code.
Select Employees to exclude from or include on the report based on Full Time, Part Time, or Other/Casual Pay Type. By default, Pay Types of Salaried, Hourly and Other Comp Only are included (selected).
You can filter 1095-C forms for Non-US resident employees, which are governed by the State field in the Employee Master File. Employees will be excluded by default if they do not have one of the 51 State abbreviations (including DC). Exclude is selected by default and will only show Employees with one of the 51 State abbreviations. Select Include to show all Employees, regardless of their State field in the Employee Master File. Selecting Only Show will show only Employees that do not have one of the 51 State abbreviations.
Select Employees to exclude from or include on the report based on Full Time, Part Time, or Other/Casual status. By default, all statuses are included (selected) except for Subcontractor, wich is excluded (not selected).
Choose to include in the Report/create Forms for All, Active or Inactive Employees, or for those Employees on Leave of Absence.
These filters are available when the Output Type is 1094-C State Electronic File. This is used for states that require the file to contain employees who lived in the state for any part of the year. The states currently supported for this output type are:
State | Notes |
---|---|
California (CA)
See State of California Franchise Tax Board for more information |
See Creating Test Communication Files for California 1095-C Records and Creating Correction Files California 1095-C Records for detailed instructions. |
District of Columbia (DC)
See DC Office of Tax and Revenue for more information |
|
New Jersey (NJ)
See New Jersey Shared Responsibility Requirement for more information |
|
Rhode Island (RI)
See State of Rhode Island Division of Taxation Department of Revenue for more information |
|
When you select this output type, you can then filter by Employee Resident State and/or Employee Taxable Wages State. You must select a state in the State field.
- Employee Resident State—All employees who have or have had a physical address within the selected state for the tax year entered are included in the electronic file.
- Employee Taxable Wages State—All employees who had taxable wages within the selected state for the tax year entered are included in the electronic file. This option does not follow reciprocity rules. For example, if an employee lived in Pennsylvania, and worked in New Jersey, there would be no New Jersey taxable wages so the employee would not be included in the electronic file.
You can also use the other filters and options in the window to further limit the results. The rest of the steps to create this file are the same as those for the 1094-C electronic file—the manifest and request file creation is also the same. The information for each of these files is pulled from the generated 1095-C forms. The process to create the files is the same as the IRS. The Transmitter Information for 1094-C/1095-C window is displayed and must be filled out to proceed.
Note: We currently only support the California state-level correction file.
This option is available to users who have more than one company, and is used to designate from which company the 1095-C Report/Forms have been generated.

The Field Chooser provides dozens of options for data to be displayed in the grid. See WT: Grids for more information.
Example: This tool is designed to highlight at a glance all 1095-C reporting details, and point to potential reporting exceptions that you may wish to review before finalizing forms and reporting. Not all exceptions are necessarily problematic. For example, most full-time employees would receive 1095-C Forms. However, there are those cases where that would not be true.
